Dancing In The Rain

Wake up, fake a smile, brush my hair,

Tell the world I'm fine like I don't care.

Got a playlist of all my favorite songs,

Keep my head up, just keep moving on.

I laugh loud, try to drown it out,

All the doubts I don't talk about.

Throw on some glitter, paint my face,

Hide the cracks, leave no trace.

So I'm dancing through the rain,

Spinning through the pain,

Laughing like I'm free, but it's just for show.

Keeping up the beat so they'll never know,

It's all just a game I'm playing alone.

I'm dancing through the rain—

If I don't stop, maybe it'll go away.

Friends say, "You're the life of the party, right?"

But they don't see the fight I fight each night.

In the mirror, it's a stranger's face,

Someone lost in an endless race.

I keep the jokes up, keep it light,

Hide the truth out of sight.

I put my heart on a silver chain,

So I can smile and ignore the pain.

I'm dancing through the rain,

Spinning through the pain,

Laughing like I'm free, but it's just for show.

Keeping up the beat so they'll never know,

It's all just a game I'm playing alone.

I'm dancing through the rain—

If I don't stop, maybe it'll go away.

And I keep on dancing 'cause I don't know how,

To let it all out, to break down now.

So I twirl, and I spin, and I lose myself,

In the beat that hides the cries for help.

I smile bright like the sun's come out,

But inside there's only clouds and doubt.

Maybe someday I'll let it show,

But for now, no one has to know.

I'm dancing through the rain,

Spinning through the pain,

Laughing like I'm free, but it's just for show.

Keeping up the beat so they'll never know,

It's all just a game I'm playing alone.

I'm dancing through the rain—

If I don't stop, maybe it'll go away.
